Why are you using a throwaway account? Ohh, I just saw the "dollars or Yen" remark. TIL we use throwaway accounts for the times we feel like being assholes, so the non-elites can't track it back to our physical neuroprocessors.
I'm not sure why I'm dignifying this Reddit drivel with a response, but my karma and account age should be your hint that you're barking up the wrong tree.
"check my previous responses and my credit score for how you should treat me" ohh what an old-man response. It's too bad the Imgur "downvote everything they ever posted" script doesn't work here on HN, now isn't it?
My account's karma and history exceed your account's on this site, and even worse, this individual comment bears more value than yours! Ooh burn!
Haha, this is a pretty spectacular amount of cognitive dissonance you're demonstrating here.
Let's post-mortem this lunacy:
1) You misinterpret jsmthrowaway's initial comment as vaguely racist (or something), notice the word "throwaway" in his user name and get really excited that you can stand on your high horse and call him out for hiding behind the shield of internet anonymity when he wants to be a (you think) racist idiot. Even though his comment is a legitimate currency conversion remark. See: https://www.google.com/search?q=1+usd+in+yen
2) He explains that clearly you're mistaken (which, really, seriously, what a kneejerk response from someone who just wanted to show how clever they were, calling out an "asshole") and further explains his account isn't even a "throwaway" in the traditional, trolly sense of the word, citing his account age and the fact that he regularly actively posts to the account.
3) You, caught perhaps in a moment of clarity, though I think I give you too much credit here, realize you were too eager to pounce on the "asshole" for his "Yen" remark, and perhaps you misread it. Your latent erection fading, you counter by explaining that your history and karma are even _more_ impressive, somehow completely avoiding taking responsibility for a completely nonsensical leap in logic and accusation of wrongdoing, while doubling down on your cognitive dissonance.
